In the drawings,-Figure l is a view in' front elevation of a'pocket embodying my invention; and Figs. 2 and 3 are sections taken respectively on lines :v--w and y-y of upper edge d unstitched, forming the pocket mouth.

C- designates the reinforcement for the pocket, consisting of a piecev of material,

preferably similar tov the pocket material,

articles, such as tools and the like, v
